Nongmenfu girl's daily life

Chapter 1982

Liangcheng, a small border city, has rugged mountain roads and is inconvenient to enter and exit. It is also one of the famous poor villages around.

Chen San's family, a family in the corner of a mountain village in a small border town, their thatched hut has been repaired and repaired, but the heavy rain fell and the house was wet all over the place.

Chen San had eight children, two of them starved to death due to last year's famine, and the remaining six children were pale and emaciated, and there was no next meal after one meal.

His wife saved rations for the children during the famine, and starved to death along with the two children.

Chen San himself was almost as thin as a skeleton. Fortunately, the new emperor ascended the throne and was exempted from tax for three years. This month, he finally allowed the children to eat a meal of slightly thicker porridge.

When Chen San was planning to spend his days, his own Da Lang suddenly came back, knelt down and kowtowed to him.

"Father, I'm going to be a soldier."

Chen San was startled, his Da Lang was actually San Lang, and it was because his two elder brothers starved to death that he became Da Lang.

During a famine, the elder brother and the second elder brother would not be willing to eat, and would give all to the younger siblings, so that they would starve to death in the end.

"Dalang, what are you talking about! How can you go to be a soldier! That will kill you!"

Chen San knew that this country had just changed dynasties, and also knew that after going through wars, countless people died, which made the new emperor finally take the throne and established the current Mo country.

He didn't want his son to be a soldier, it was not that easy to be a soldier.

If one is not careful, there will be no bones left!

On the battlefield, even a neat corpse could not be found.

People in the village also went to serve as soldiers. In the past few years, all the jars were sent back.

In their countryside, if there are no neat corpses, they will all be used as lonely ghosts.

"Father, the imperial court is now recruiting soldiers, as long as they are 14 years old, they can serve as soldiers! I just passed my 14th birthday last month, and I am now qualified to serve as a soldier! Father, the barracks are full of food, I can eat as much as I want." Eat as much as I can, eat with an open belly!"

"The recruiters also said that they only need to be a soldier for five years now, and the child will come back after five years!"

"In the barracks, you can teach literacy and martial arts! My child has always wanted to study, and that's why I want to be a soldier!"

"And..." He paused, his eyes shining brightly: "As long as you go to serve as a soldier, every family will have a subsidy. During the five years I have been a soldier, I have been handing out rice every month, ten catties of polished rice!"

"Father, I don't want anyone to starve to death." His voice was very low.

He still remembers the frail faces of his eldest brother and second brother. They could eat an extra bite, but they starved for their younger brothers and sisters.

And my mother always lied to them that she had eaten, and when they finished eating, she secretly licked the bowl clean.

Mother also died of hunger.

He no longer wants to lose any of his family members to hunger.

As long as I go to serve as a soldier, my father can receive ten catties of polished rice every month, and my father can exchange ten catties of polished rice for brown rice and coarse grains.

Brothers and sisters will no longer wake up hungry in their dreams.

Five years will pass quickly, and when I return from my studies, I will definitely be able to support this family.

If you can read and learn arithmetic, you can work as a cashier and earn a lot of money.

The young man became more and more beautiful as he thought about it, and he showed a yearning smile: "Father, I want to be a soldier, I really want to go."

Old Chen San burst into tears, holding his son in his arms: "Silly son, if you don't do it well, you will die!"
